Extract

The purpose of this paper is to show the most convenient system of notation of continuous gradual change of pitch (CGC) within the possibilities of our present five-line staff of musical notation. Fig. I shows the three most characteristic types of CGC:

Type A: The increase of pitch per unit of time is constant.

Type B: The increase of pitch per unit of time increases.

Type C: The increase of pitch per unit of time decreases.

Of these, type A appears to be less frequently used than the other two.
